AC: Is He or Isn't He?
Seattle Weekly columnist Steve Wiecking suggests in an article Anderson Cooper should 'come out' and " inform an ignorant nation of news that millions have already died or been killed trying to convey: that homosexuals can "adapt with any group [they're] in," that we have, in fact, adapted and are (horrors!) living among you—shedding the same tears, expressing the same moral outrage over an administration's inexcusable incompetence."Wiecking continues," Hurricane Katrina will probably be the story of Cooper's life. I fail to see how one little "Yep, I'm Gay" will threaten him more than the storm he has already weathered. On the contrary, unashamed voices are what it will take to quell the gales that set Gov. Ahnuld to quaking and may menace a vulnerable Supreme Court into ruling that gay men and women aren't really citizens, that we aren't due the same rights as the rest of the nation we've helped build and will help rebuild. Does such a burden fall squarely on Cooper's impeccable shoulders alone? No, of course not. But doesn't he get the anger that is out here?"
